A SWEET LITTLE HOUSE!

         A SWEET LITTLE HOUSE!

   December 10th is "Gingerbread House Day!"

My wife and grandson just worked om a

Gingerbread house a couple weeks ago. These

day they come in kits. But it wasn't always so.

Gingerbread came to Europe during the 11th

century when the Crusaders reintroduced the

desire for flavored breads to the world.

Gingerbread was a favorite because it not only

tasted good, but lasted for a long time.

The Germans picked up on Gingerbread big time

and Gingerbread houses were very popular there!

Just for the record, the biggest Gingerbread house

ever "built" was 60 by 42 feet and weighed in at

over 36,000 calories. I didn't do anything to help

my wife and grandson put their Gingerbread

house together but given the chance I will be

very happy to help them "take it apart" (If you

catch my meaning!) Hope your Gingerbread is

sweet and all your NEWS is good!
